  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

People flee their homes as wildfires sweep Europe in unprecedented heatwave
Temperatures in the UK hit 40C for the first time in recorded history this week, while France, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Croatia have been battling wildfires for weeks. In Portugal, temperatures reached 46C.
The World Meteorological Organization says that the record temperatures are due to climate change and likely to continue.

And the right wing response in the Uk is “its only a bit of heat, woke snowflakes!”

Regarding the UK:
"We are talking about temperatures we have not experienced in this country... ever. Our bodies, our houses, our culture, our way of life is just not geared up for it...

Train operators have lowered speed limits, fearing the heat could warp the rails... if you are going from London to Leeds today, rather than two and half hours you are looking at the five hour journey".

The ironic flip side of global warming shocking the polar vortex out of place and causing severe winter weather.

The u s isn't exactly cool right now.

True, where I live temperatures like that and up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and wildfires are a yearly thing. We've been having triple digits since June. :)

Some of the worse wildfires in U.S. history happened recently, but there is a history of deadly U.S. wildfires going back more than a century.

It's been a 114 for several days now with little cooling. It's supposed to turn around in the next few days. I have felt a few times that I might not make it it's terrible not to be able to cool down.
